The invention relates to a filter module for trapping overspray from booth air laden with overspray from coating facilities, particularly from painting facilities, having a module housing, in which a filter structure (88) is accommodated and which has a module inlet (74) and a module outlet (76), wherein the filter module (40) is designed in such a manner that it is swapped for an empty filter module (40) once a limit loading of overspray is reached. The filter module (40) comprises a recyclable reusable structure (112) of one or more reusable components that can be thermally regenerated and therefore the filter module (40) can at least partially be thermally regenerated. The invention also relates to a trap having one or more filter modules of this kind, a coating facility for coating objects (14) and to a method for operating a coating facility.

A dust collector includes an enclosure and a tube sheet separating filter and clean air compartments. The tube sheet forms a filter opening and a filter is located within the filter compartment and includes a filter flange having an air outlet aligned with said filter opening. The flange includes first and second alignment structures located on a first lateral side of the flange. A clamping assembly includes first and second filter clamps that are movable between a sealing position for sealing the filter flange against the tube sheet, and a release position. The first filter clamp engages the first alignment structure when in the sealing position. The second filter clamp engages the second alignment structure when in the sealing position. The dust collector includes means for moving the filter clamps between the sealing position and the release position.
